Each episode examines a specific mechanism — from EU ETS permit prices to the impact of US Inflation Reduction Act subsidies on corporate balance sheets — and traces how these policies ripple through energy markets, manufacturing, and consumer prices. Lucas brings the numbers and institutional context (how the World Bank's carbon pricing dashboard works, what the Social Cost of Carbon actually measures), while Luna pushes for the practical implications: does a €50 carbon tax actually change behavior? What happens when a steel plant in Germany faces both emission costs and Chinese competition? The show serves investors, policy analysts, and business leaders who need to understand climate-related financial risk without the activism or greenwashing. Listeners walk away able to parse a carbon offset market, evaluate a company's net-zero roadmap, and spot the difference between a real price signal and a political slogan. How do you put a number on a ton of carbon — and who pays when that number is wrong? #CarbonPricing #GreenPolicy #SustainabilityCosts #EUETS #Infla…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T06:19:03.667812+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781"},"episode":{"title":"Why Corporate Carbon Credits Are Getting Cheaper","slug":"why-corporate-carbon-credits-are-getting-cheaper","published_at":"2026-06-17T06:51:08+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/why-corporate-carbon-credits-are-getting-cheaper","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0056.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0056.mp3","summary":"Episode 56: Carbon credit prices have fallen more than 30 percent this year, and Lucas and Luna dig into why. The culprit isn't a lack of demand — it's a flood of supply from new methodologies and a credibility crisis in the voluntary market. Lucas walks through the specific numbers: the average price per ton has dropped from $15 to below $10, while issuance of new credits hit a record 350 million tons in Q1 2026. He explains how the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market's Core Carbon Principles are creating a two-tier market — high-integrity credits holding value, while others trade near zero. Luna pushes back on whether the whole mechanism is broken, citing a new study from the University of Zurich that found 60 percent of forestry credits overstate their impact. The conversation lands on a practical takeaway: for companies still buying, the smart money is shifting toward removals over avoided emissions, and toward credits that carry the new IC-VCM stamp. #CarbonCredits #VoluntaryCarbonMarket #ICVCM #CarbonPricing #ClimateEconomics #Sustainability #NetZero #CarbonOffsets #ForestryCredits #CarbonRemoval #UniversityOfZurich #GlobalCarbon #GreenPolicy #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ClimatePodcast #CarbonMarkets Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 56: Carbon credit prices have fallen more than 30 percent this year, and Lucas and Luna dig into why.
